This was a great event and everyone really brought their game. A couple highlights are:
Tim’s 500lb deadlift
Julie’s fight on the last two squats & everyone who got close or achieved the 50 reps
Chelle pulling 250 like it was effortless
Laura’s 5 min squat session
The comp athletes and supporters who stuck around to cheer us on!

Lastly, after I pulled 215 I wrote 225 on the board. Then Blake came up to me to tell me that wasn’t enough and convinced me to go up to 235. Well, it’s not easy for me to say this sometimes, but Yes, honey you were right.

1. Matty yelling like an animal at the top of his deadlifts
2. Laura only stoppong her squats cuz she ran out of time, Woah!
3. The last part of Julie’s squats were inspiring
4. Chelle with her DL
5. Zach’s socks
6. John & Blake coaching & encouring me during my turn
7. Nickay on the KB

Every one of the athletes who competed for grabbing a weight, moving it with reckless abandon, being void of self doubt and stepping away a champion. I love that shit. I’m jacked outta my mind just thinking about it.

Everything about the Combine was awesome, but a couple of things will stick in my mind:
1: Julie fighting through her last two squats
2: Tim’s deadlift
3: Chelle’s deadlift (it didn’t even look hard!)
4: Every guy with those big ol’ KBs
5: Laura’s squats – as soon as Z posted the Combine, I thought, “I can’t wait to see Laura squat” and she didn’t disappoint
